Salty Snacks

Capturing sales on the shelf means making the most of your brand. Brand management teams obsess over packaging artwork. The last thing they want is poor quality codes that detract from the package.

A true printing partner understands the importance of great print quality and achieving your operational goals. Offering over four decades of experience in your industry, Videojet has the ideal combination of technology, expertise and service options to be your coding partner of choice.

Ink-based, non-contact printing of multiple data types (alphanumeric, logos and bar codes) in large sizes primarily used for secondary packaging such as cases.

Solutions for a wide variety of bag types

From pillow to four-sided to block-bottom, bag variety and the machines used to fill them continue to evolve. New bag features and packaging lines can dictate your coding technology selection, but code quality and content requirements also play a role.

Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO)

produces high resolution codes (300 dots per inch/12 dots per mm) on flexible film with no solvents

Laser Marking Systems

ideal for pre-printed polypropylene films or a reverse printed Datalase® patch between two layers of a multi-laminate film

large marking fields help optimize power settings and avoid film burn through

Versatility to code on almost anything

Substrate, environmental considerations or requirements for specialty inks can make selection of a coding solution more challenging. With the right expertise, an optimal solution can be specified for your snack production line.

Whether intermittent or continuous motion, Videojet has a range of printers to address the growing complexity of VFFS bags and pouches. Packaging features, like zippers and gussets, and the type of VFFS line require a thoughtful selection of the right coding technology.

Integration challenges can be physical, in terms of space and the need for mounting accessories, or communications-based. Videojet Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO) products have been engineered by packaging industry experts to make all aspects of interaction from VFFS installation to customer operation as simple as possible. In addition, Videojet’s service and technical support team help ensure that the installation is done right the first time and provides support throughout the life of the printer.

A beam of infrared light focused and steered with a series of carefully controlled small mirrors to create marks where the heat of the beam interacts with the packaging surface.

With this application, the printer is typically integrated onto your conveyor after the sealed jar, tin or can has been discharged. Depending on your preferred code location, the printer can easily be configured to print on the bottom, top or shoulder of the container.

Several printing options can serve in this application and can be integrated with the machine or immediately downstream in the outfeed. The optimal installation location will depend upon the size constraints of both the cartoner and the preferred coding technology.

Fluid based, non-contact printing of up to five lines of text, linear and 2D bar codes, or graphics, printed on a variety of packaging types including stationary packaging via traversing systems.

Case printers are best integrated on your conveyor after the sealed case has been discharged. The type and amount of information you want to print on your cases determines which coding solution is ideal for you.
